Abstract

Laparoscopic partial gastrectomy without lymph node dissection has been accepted worldwide for the treatment of small gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). However, the role of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of large gastric GISTs remains under debate due to the risk of tumor spillage or rupture of the tumor capsule leading to peritoneal seeding. To the best of our knowledge, one-stage laparoscopic resection for a large gastric GIST and synchronous liver metastases following preoperative imatinib therapy has not been previously reported. Here, we present our initial experience of this method of treatment.
